Girl, 6, Gets Smacked in Face by Soldier Saluting Queen

Maisie Gregory curtsied and handed a bouquet to Queen Elizabeth II during a visit to Cardiff, Wales where the monarch was meeting members of the Royal Welsh military regiment. But as the queen moved on, a lance corporal raised his hand to salute and accidentally knocked the girl.
